Chris Gayle broke a long-standing record during West Indies’ ICC
World Cup 2019 match against Sri Lanka at Chester-le-Street on Monday July 1,2019
His knock of 35 saw the self-professed Universe Boss become the highest run-scorer for the West Indies with 10,386 ODI runs, surpassing Brain Lara’s haul of 10,348 runs.
Brian Lara himself took to Twitter to congratulate Gayle on the achievement. “Congratulations
@henrygayle most runs by a West Indian in ODI cricket #muchdeserved,” he posted.
Chris Gayle was set to retire after the 2019 World Cup but walked back on his decision and will hang up his boots after the series against India next month
However, the left-handed opener is playing in what will be his last World Cup. West Indies are already out of the reckoning for the semi-finals.
